Explicit CUST-WP-0080 precision defect demand: actual clock .750 was rounded to
.000, accepting consume beyond a .500 expiry and recording evidence earlier than
the actual signed decision. INTENT basis: valid right now, exact-bound atomic
consumption and faithful source evidence. Fix source time, not Access backdating
or a consumer waiver. This does not promote native issuer/deployment authority.

## Preserve clock precision and one post-lock consumption instant

```task
id: APPROVAL-WP-0006-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "7d73af2a-c24b-5e6f-9cfa-869722edbfb7"
```

Preserve aware UTC microseconds through clock/ISO formatting. After acquisition
of the SQLite consume lock, sample one time for validity, stored consumption
receipt/update and use-event occurrence. Preserve old second-precision rows,
original idempotent receipt/decision and local transactional atomicity.

Seven added regressions: baseline five failed/two passed; repaired 89 focused
checks pass. Full source suite: 298 passed, one pre-existing deployment pin vs
historical release-evidence mismatch retained. One initial test attempted issue
after expiry and was corrected to issue before expiry, then advance the clock;
the repaired source correctly refused that expired setup. Source change needs no
schema migration and preserves old rows/idempotent timestamps exactly.

## Review temporal source successor and hand off independently pinned repair

```task
id: APPROVAL-WP-0006-T02
status: progress
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "c689f2b3-461c-5bdb-b6bc-01d756715564"
```

Supply exact patch/test/source review evidence for coordinator integration and
Access/Secrets immediate strict CAS remeasurement. Review only Approval facts,
normalized preapproval correspondence and temporal bounds on the exact successor
source. Existing WP0005 closure/R1 review remain historical; native issuer,
audit receiver, served-PEP/CAS/effect and cleanup gates remain WP0002 T01/T04/T05
and the existing Access/Secrets/Platform records. No native gate is closed here.

Source owner review and handoff are prepared in
`docs/reviews/2026-10-16-fractional-consumption-temporal-approval-owner-review.json`.
Standalone repair patch is frozen separately from the Access R3 fact review;
89 focused source checks and 298 full checks pass, with one known image-evidence
mismatch. Access precise NotBefore remains unchanged and original claim freshness
is never renewed. Exact R3 normalized-preapproval/temporal source review covers
Approval facts only; native freshness120 configuration is not granted. Independent
integration/publication and actual immediate strict CAS successor remeasurement
remain pending coordinator/consumer evidence, not a reason to backdate or waive.
